Title of Collection: Engage Every

Abstract: The American Rescue Plan 

(ARP) provides funding for 

implementing comprehensive, 

evidence-based programs to ensure 

resources respond to students’ 

academic, social, and emotional needs 

and address the disproportionate impact 

of COVID–19 on student populations. 

Using resources provided by the ARP, 

States, districts, and their partners can 

use out-of-school time (OST) to address 

the disproportionate impact of COVID– 

19 on students, families, and their 

communities. Out-of-school time 

programs, which occur before or after 

the regular school day or outside of the 

regular school year, can include a wide 

range of activities, including 

comprehensive afterschool or summerlearning and enrichment programs, 

vacation academies, work-based 

learning programs, youth development 

programs, and experiential or servicelearning programs. 

On July 14th, 2022, the U.S. 

Department of Education, along with the 

Afterschool Alliance, AASA—the 

School Superintendents Association, 

the National Comprehensive Center at 

Westat, the National League of Cities 

and the National Summer Learning 

Association, launched the Engage Every 

Student Initiative designed to ensure 

that every student who wants a spot in 

a high-quality out-of-school time 

program has one. In the Fall of 2023, the 

U.S. Department of Education and the 

five partnering organizations designed 

the Engage Every Student Recognition 

Program, which aims to recognize (1) 

non-profit organizations working in 

collaboration with school district/local 

education agencies (LEAs) or (2) 

municipalities or local government 

entities working in collaboration with 

school district/local education agencies 

(LEAs) that engage K–12 students in 

high-quality afterschool or summer 

learning programming, with highquality being defined as meeting 

students’ social, emotional, mental, and 

physical health, and academic needs 

and addressing the impact of COVID–19 

on students’ opportunity to learn.

Title of Collection: Nondiscrimination 

on the Basis of Sex in Education 

Programs or Activities Receiving 

Federal Financial Assistance. 

OMB Control Number: 1870–0505. 

Type of Review: An extension without 

change of a currently approved ICR. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Private 

sector; State, local, and Tribal 

governments. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 119,860. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 1,892,188. 

Abstract: This is an extension of an 

existing collection under OMB Control 

No. 1870–0505. This collection was 

originally submitted by the U.S. 

Department of Education (the 

Department) in December 2018 in 

connection with a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking for the Nondiscrimination 

on the Basis of Sex in Education 

Programs or Activities Receiving 

Federal Financial Assistance to propose 

amendments to the Department’s 

implementing regulations for title IX of 

the Education Amendments of 1972. 

(ICR Reference No. 201811–1870–001). 

The Department finalized its rulemaking 

in May 2020 and the ICR was approved 

by OMB on December 8, 2020 (ICR 

Reference No. 202005–1870–001). The 

ICR is scheduled to expire on December 

31, 2023. The regulations that require 

the collection of information are set 

forth below. 

Section 106.45(b)(2) Notice of 

Allegations requires all recipients, upon 

receipt of a formal complaint, to provide 

written notice to the complainant and 

the respondent, informing the parties of 

the recipient’s grievance process and 

providing sufficient details of the sexual 

harassment allegations being 

investigated. This written notice will 

help ensure that the nature and scope of 

the investigation, and the recipient’s 

procedures, are clearly understood by 

the parties at the commencement of an 

investigation. 

Section 106.45(b)(9) Informal 

resolution requires that recipients who 

wish to provide parties with the option 

of informal resolution of formal 

complaints, may offer this option to the 

parties but may only proceed by: first, 

providing the parties with written 

notice disclosing the sexual harassment 

allegations, the requirements of an 

informal resolution process, any 

consequences from participating in the 

informal resolution process; and second, 

obtaining the parties’ voluntary, written 

consent to the informal resolution 

process. This provision permits—but 

does not require—recipients to allow for 

voluntary participation in an informal 

resolution as a method of resolving the 

allegations raised in formal complaints 

without completing the investigation 

and adjudication. Additionally, 

recipients may not offer or facilitate an 

informal resolution process to resolve 

allegations that an employee sexually 

harassed a student. 

Section 106.45(b)(10) requires 

recipients to maintain certain 

documentation regarding their title IX 

activities. Recipients would be required 

to maintain for a period of seven years 

records of: sexual harassment 

investigations, including any 

determination regarding responsibility 

and any audio or audiovisual recording 

or transcript required under 

§ 106.45(b)(6)(i), any disciplinary 

sanctions imposed on the respondent, 

and any remedies provided to the 

complainant designed to restore or 

preserve equal access to the recipient’s 

education program or activity; any 

appeal and the result therefrom; any 

informal resolution; and all materials 

used to train Title IX Coordinators, 

investigators, decision-makers, and any 

person who facilitates an informal 

resolution process. Additionally, for 

each response required under 

§ 106.44(a), a recipient must create, and 

maintain for a period of seven years, 

records of any actions, including any 

supportive measures, taken in response 

to a report or formal complaint of sexual 

harassment.
